The Dark

The Cage

     Sam hits the cage wall and collapses. He rests his head against one of the bars when Cas and Dean run in.

"Hey, ass-butt!" Cas yells at Lucifer.

     He turns around and faces them. He looks at Dean. "Dean." He points to Castiel. "Uh, the other one." Lucifer snaps, and Dean and Cas are in the cage with Lucifer and Sam. "Welcome to the party." Cas looks at Dean, but Dean stares at Lucifer.

     Sam tries to stand, tries to intervene, but he spits blood out of his mouth instead. He doesn't have much energy. How was he supposed to fight 

     "Scared?" Lucifer asks, looking between Dean and Cas.

     "Not even a little." Dean stared right at Lucifer as Cas let the Angel Blade fall from his sleeve.

    "Uh-uh-uh-uh. Moments like this, it's all about ambience." Lucifer snaps his fingers, and 'Heaven Must be Missing an Angel' starts blasting through the Cage. 

'Heaven,'  Lucifer dances. 'Must be missin' an angel. Missin' one angel child.'  

     Dean glanced at Cas. Cas charged at Lucifer.

''Cause you're here with me right now,'

     Lucifer quickly uses his own momentum to stop him and whispers to Cas. "I can beat the Darkness. Me. Only me."

'Your love is heavenly, baby.'

     Dean rushed over to Sam. "Hey, hey." He held Sam's face in his hands.

'Heavenly to me, baby.'

     Lucifer held Cas up to his face. "Who are these two? They're a couple of apes. You know I'm right, Castiel. You know it." Castiel tries to hit Lucifer again, but he quickly catches his arm. "You want to play it that way?     

'Your kiss,'

     Sam's face was bloody, and Dean still kneeled next to him. "We can't win," Sam told Dean.

'With tenderness,'

     "We don't have to win. We've jiust got to last a few minutes."

'I want all,'

     Lucifer slammed Cas into the Cage bars. 

'I can get from your,'

     Rowena was almost finished with the spell. Hopefully, she would finish it just in time.

'Sexiness.'

     Sam jumped up and grabbed Lucifer from behind. Dean swung at him, hitting the right side of his face. Of course, this was useless, considering he was going up against Satan.

'Showers,'

     Lucifer turned, only to be met with Sam's fist. He got knocked side ways, and Dean gave hima. hard right punch. Twice. 

'Your love comes in showers,'

     "You hit like a human." Lucifer kicked Dean back. He hit the Cage bars. 

'And every hour of the hour.'

     He jerked his head back to hit Sam. Sam let go and stumbled backwards. Lucifer repeatedly hit Sam.

'You let me feel your loving power.'

    Cas got up from the ground and ran at Lucifer again. All that happened was Cas getting a few hitgs to the face. He fell. He doesn't stand back up.

'There's a rainbow,'

     Sam hit Lucifer in the back.

'Over my shoulder.'

     Lucifer wasn't phased. He turned around and elbowed Sam in the nose, followed by a quick punch.

'When you came,'

     Dean attacked Lucifer. No one messes with his little brother. He swung again, but Lucifer dodged. 

'My cup runneth over.'

     Lucifer made Dean fall to the ground. Sam, who was attempting to stand, got knocked over by Lucifer's knee. Sam stayed on the ground.

'You gave me your heavenly love.'

     Lucifer turned back to Dean. Two of the three boys were down. Lucifer held Dean up by his neck.

'And if one night you hear crying from above,'

     Dean struggled against Lucifer. "All right, Sam. I'm gonna make this real easy for you. You say the magic word...or your brother dies."

     The music stops.

     "And we both know you won't let that happen."

     All Sam could do was stare. If he said yes, then Lucifer would be top side again. If he said no, Dean would die.

     "Come on, Sam." He tightened his grip around Dean. "We don't have all day."

     "Sam-" Dean gasped for air. "Don't-" 

     Lucifer tightened his grip even more. "Shh, shh, shh. No talking, he can think for himself."

     Sam looked btween Lucifer, Dean, and tehn Cas laying next to him. He looked at Dean with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry."

     "No!" 

     "Come on, Sam. Say it."

     He looked one last time at Dean, then reluctantly back at Lucifer. What would happen to Dean? "Yes. Okay? Yes. Let him go."

     Rowena sliced open her hand. The blood dripped onto the bowl, full of herbs, and she chanted a few word in Latin. She finished the spell.

    Lucifer disappeared in a flash of light.
